Hive threat - new event for xenos
About The Pull Request
New random event like intel computers, but for xenos.
The Queen Mother determines that a individual human that's deployed groundside is a particular threat to the greater hive. The hive must psydrain (not cocoon, since we're sucking their brain or whatever) them to steal their secrets and counter that current or future threat.
The target has a hud mark to make it easier to keep track of them.
If successful, the hive as a whole is rewarded with a slight movement speed buff for 2 minutes, triple psypoints for the drain itself, and a full plasma regen and salve heal for every xeno in the hive. Additionally, the specific xeno that drained the target is further rewarded, being boosted to ancient maturity and their next evo tier.
Why It's Good For The Game
More events cool.

Would be interesting if xenomorphs or admins can select a target. Truly metatarget meme potential.

It could be a smite, should be simple enough to implement once this PR is in.
Oh great now I will be really glowing in the dark. Just try and get me behind my 3 layers of autism.
Can it notify the target to? Seeing their reaction would be priceless once they know the entire hive wants to strangle em.

I kinda want them to not know, considering they can just play super safe if they do which is boring. Also fluff wise it probs doesn't make much sense.

I think that the target should be notified. Xenos aren't losing anything if the target is killed. So if they kill the target good, if not no big deal. I doubt the target would sit in fob upon notification, but if they do nothing of value lost.
Also I think that the rewards might be a little much. When you say that the xeno that drains get upgraded to next evo tier, do you just mean that the evo progress is set to full? Because if they are forcibly evo'd that wouldn't be good

Just fills the bar, yeah. The rewards are pretty arbitrary, I'm sure someone else could make something more interesting.
I don't think benos get notified of intel events either afaik.
this is insanely cool and would give xenos alot more stuff to play/do with with a dedicated target
any plans on doing a marine version though? maybe double credit sell points on dead beano?

Yeah it could easily be reused for the marine side. Ideally there would be some targeting logic, but the game doesn't really track who is 'scoring' kills etc, but it could be done.

They do. This should probably be a team-wide announcement considering how significant the rewards could be.
Memes aside, this could pretty easily be given to someone new or incompetent (because funny RNG), in which case, shiiiiit. New players now actively detriment their team more. Time to BE anyone under 50 hours

Removed the limit of one at a time because why not. Reduced the event weight to 10 and increased min start time to 30 (it can't trigger without humans on the ground anyway). Blacklisted from crash where you can't drain. Fixed maturity check so it won't accidentally demature primos.
Might want to blacklist synths since they can't get drained, it's a waste of a target.

Curse everything being a child of human.
